Has your family’s financial situation changed since you completed your FAFSA® form? Follow these steps to request an aid adjustment.
StudentAid.gov/help-center/a…
ALT What if your financial situation has changed? Here’s what you can do: 1. Contact your school’s financial aid office to ask if they can adjust your student aid. 2. Provide documentation to your school to support the circumstances leading to an involuntary loss of income, such as a layoff, reduction in hours worked, increased medical expenses, etc.
Note: Adjustments are not required, but many schools are willing to consider special circumstances. Your school’s decision on your aid adjustments is final and cannot be appealed to the U.S. Department of Education.
